I don’t feel “stout” having drunk these beers. The style generally, and these examples specifically, were quite well-suited to “session” drinking and I didn’t feel fatter or drunker for having imbibed them.

Because I was with friends and coworkers I failed to note much else besides the names/styles of the beers. I feel bad that I can’t officially review them – other than to say that they were all delicious – but at least they counted towards my Brewniversity total

Since Autumn is a time to enjoy the company of others, to give thanks, and to celebrate I challenge you all to do this: share a stout or porter with a friend. If they don’t like it, more beer for you!
